St. John's Ends Florida State's Season 5-4, Snapping Seminoles' Super Regional Run

A 5-4 loss to St. John’s in Game 6 of the Tallahassee Regional ended No. 10 seed Florida State’s season at 40-19 after the Seminoles had battled back through the loser’s bracket.
A grand slam erased FSU’s 2-0 lead after five innings, and St. John’s added a sixth-inning insurance run before Cal Fisher’s two-run homer in the ninth left the Seminoles one run short.
Link Jarrett said injuries defined much of Florida State’s year, praising a team that "absolutely fought and never stopped" despite never being fully healthy and losing key contributors along the way.
Jarrett called the postgame dugout and locker room unusually silent, saying the defeat hurt more because this veteran group still reached 40 wins while overcoming roster instability and offensive limitations.
The loss halted Florida State’s streak of reaching the super regional round, while Jarrett said lessons from injuries, roster management and small game-management mistakes would shape next season.
